It was a bright weekend afternoon. With ninja like precision I crept unnoticed into my Nan’s front room and placed myself round the back of one of her armchairs. My breath held tightly, I dared to peer from my stealthy location. My uncle (in his early twenties at the time) was watching some tall guy … Continue reading →

Warning this post is NSFW For months now I have wanted to write a piece on a personal horror favourite of mine. Actually to call it a personal favourite might seem a bit bizarre, but out of all of the Italian cannibal movies Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust has stood the test of time and still … Continue reading →

After first hearing about it back at the end of 2012, I have finally got to see the truly bizarre Bad Milo!. I don’t know about you, but I feel that in recent years genre films have lost their way somewhat; more specifically genre films with monsters have become dime-a-dozen. It seems that lately they … Continue reading →

(This post contains minimal spoilers) At last year’s London Frightfest I sadly missed out on several features that got rave reviews from both the critics and audiences. Call it laziness, but I just didn’t fancy watching one of the hotly tipped films when it was theatrically released. The film in question would be You’re Next, … Continue reading →

I find it amazing how your own film tastes can change over the course of a few years. Certain films that are revisited suddenly appear to be better than when they were first viewed. Case in point would be my first reaction to watching Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth back in the late 90s. Having … Continue reading →

(Warning! there will be spoilers) So it’s the New Year finally and I thought it was high time I cracked on with my first piece of writing for 2014. As you can tell from the title I’ve decided to do a new Revisiting piece, mainly as I enjoy writing them so much. Now get yourself … Continue reading →

Warning: This post will be filled with the occasional spoiler, so if you have yet to see Only God Forgives please don’t read this yet. If you have seen it, keep reading for my views on this interesting cinematic nightmare. Possibly one of the most polarising films this year (maybe even the last few years), … Continue reading →

As i’ve built up a bit of a backlog of reviews and features for other sites over the last few weeks, I thought I would list some of the more recent ones. Below you will find a couple of links, which will lead you to the various websites. For those interested I have also included … Continue reading →

Originally for my 100th blog post I was going to write about Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein (1994). I recently saw 5th sequel to the Child’s Play franchise and just wanted to blog about it more. So for my official 100th post, may I present my views on Curse of Chucky. Horror fans, we’re a devoted and … Continue reading →

“Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things” – Dracula to Harker As Halloween is almost upon us, it seems only fitting that I look at two of my favourite re-imagined pieces of gothic literature before All Hallows Eve. For this blog I’ll be … Continue reading →

With the three original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films being re-released on Blu-Ray and DVD this month, it felt appropriate to give the first film another revisit for posterity’s sake. If like me you’re of a certain age group, you will remember when the first TMNT film hit cinemas back in 1990. I remember the … Continue reading →

I’ll be absolutely honest right off the bat, I have never (until recently) seen any of Kenneth Anger’s much lauded back catalogue of film. I feel a little ashamed at myself for say this, especially since I enjoy watching the strange and obscure. Thankfully this has now been rectified after my recent purchase of Magick … Continue reading →

A similar piece to this was originally published back in May 2011, but I’ve decided to attempt another as part of my Friday Night Frights series. As its Friday the 13th today (if you are reading this on a Friday that is), now seems as good a time as any to have another look at … Continue reading →

After what has felt like an eternity, I have finally gotten back round to writing on this blog (in actual fact it’s been a matter of months). Over this period of time I’ve come up with one or two interesting ideas to keep the blog fresh, exciting and fun to read. Below this waffling piece … Continue reading →
